About 31:25-33:49 In film

Ramiro was driving the car while Erika and Suli was in the back seat. Suli wanted to go where her and her husband made love and got pregnant with Alex. The place is an ocean shore with a beach and a beautiful view of ocean waves. The lighting was a natural sunlight but it was cloudy. The camera angle focuses the front face view of the artists but there would be some occasion side view because of the movement of the camera. The mood and music are both intensely sad and very sensitive. Suli is very emotional. Erika was sympathetic and Ramiro is concerned about Alex’s condition and the effects of stopping the drug intake of Alex.


This scene was in Part II and the purpose of this scene is to explain the medical condition of Alex and the reason why Erika and Ramiro visited Alex’s family. This scene move the plot of the film to explain to the audience what is happening especially for people who don’t have enough human biological knowledge like me because it helped me realize that this is why the title is XXY because of Alex’s reproductive condition and overall complicated body development.
The purpose of this scene as a whole to the film is to present what the main topic of the story is and to prove a point that love and affection do not choose and do not care about outside appearances.
